Howdy,

I think I've found a bug with the "Object Definition Tricks" found at http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/2_0/templatetricks.html#service.

Here is my configuration using the tricks above, which works...

define host {
        use                     production-host
        host_name               myhost
        alias                   My Host
        address                 x.x.x.x
        hostgroups              dell-servers
}

define hostgroup{
        hostgroup_name                   dell-servers
        alias                            Dell Servers
}

define service{
                 name                    dell-hardware
                 service_description     Dell Hardware
                 hostgroup_name          dell-servers
                 contact_groups          sysadmins
                 check_command           check_nrpe!check_dell
}

Right up until I add back in a legacy host/service definition...

define host {
        use                     production-host
        host_name               newhost
        alias                   New Host
        address                 y.y.y.y
}

define service {
                 use                     dell-hardware
                 host                                            newhost
}

Error: Service 'Dell Hardware' on host 'myhost' has already been defined
Error: Could not register service (config file .... newhost.cfg on line XX)

Question: Why does "using" dell-hardware in a normal syntax (remember, my goal is to migrate the old style in red to the new hostgroups trick style above), is not compatible when the service has a hostgroup_name defined? This looks to me like a bug, where it's trying to redefine the service instead of just using it.

Thoughts?
